The Poetry of Michael Langston


(45) PERCHANCE WE'VE MET

Do you dream of an apartment
Overlooking a great city at night
With many, many tall buildings
All adorned with myriad lights?

Do you dream of a loving visitor
Arriving stealthily on the balcony
Bringing a copy of Dickens
And reading to you eloquently?

Perhaps then I've met you
Because, it seems,
On many separate occasions
I've dreamed that same dream.
